Happy Weekend.

{The devil’s crayon}

+ I love these DIY flower bulb favors.

+ Yesterday I shared some out of the ordinary wedding rings over on Oh, hello friend.

+ I also answered a few questions for Annie at Poetic + Chic.

+ More Halloween cards + invitations.

+ I’ve been wanting to paint some Mason jars, so this DIY is perfect timing!

+ Sad I didn’t think of this idea when I moved into my first apartment.

+ Every designer, actually every human, needs to read these words from Milton Glaser.

+ Wowed by these courtroom sketches.

+ Web designers rejoice and meet the Gridulator!

+ I can’t wait to pick up a copy of Baked’s second cookbook.

+ WANT: these Maple Candied Apples in my face.

+ One more reason I need to my ass to NYC: FoodParc.

Okapi.

I love texture in a big way and it’s rare to see so many techniques executed by one shop, but that’s just what Okapi does. Intricate necklaces, chunky scarves, and delicate wraps, all created from luxurious textiles that are sure to rock your socks off.

Let’s Go Camping.

{via ffffound}

Happy first day of Fall! In celebration of my favorite season, we’ll be celebrating all day long. First up is my idea of camping. I’m not exactly an outdoorsy sorta gal, so I much prefer it when a cabin is involved instead of a tent. (I’d also prefer not having to dig a hole in order to use the “facilities”, but that’s another story.)

O’Clock Watch.

The O’Clock watch is silicon and comes in three sizes (small, medium & large) to fit anyone. It’s also water resistant. You can choose to wear it fitted like a standard watch or loose like a bracelet.

Hexagon Ring.

I’ve come across Caitlin Mociun’s Hexagon ring a few times recently and every time I let out a little sigh. To me it looks like the chemical world (elemental structures) meets the animal kingdom (honeycombs). And it’s lovely.

Kitchen Help.

They say that cooking is an art, while baking is a science. I tend to lean towards the baking side of the spectrum, so being precise is big deal in my kitchen. Measurements, specific temperatures, baking soda versus baking powder. I love all of it. I’m a precise kind of girl by nature, really. Here are a few kitchen guides that have caught my eye lately.

Apron Guides. An entire apron full of useful information designed by John Caswell. Numeric conversions, cooking times for vegetables, roasting times for birds, freezing instructions, defrosting times, a cooking glossary and more right at your fingertips. And oriented so that you can pick up the hem in a pinch.

Cheat Sheet Placemat. A great way to teach kids to help out at the table. Or, if you’re like me, to teach yourself. Cotton and machine-washable for use time and time again. {via bltd}

Pastry Board. I’m currently trying to master the perfect pie crust, so the diameter measurements would greatly help me out and save lots of time. You can use the reverse side for chopping. It’s made from sustainable North American Birch, which makes you feel like you’re doing some good while getting a great product. {via design is mine}
